President Clinton by feeling some sculptural bust or other relief image
of him?

I do share your concerns that there are some problems with design and
potential interpretation of the results. But I doubt if any of our
dissertations were air-tight. Don't get me wrong, the design issues
need to be addressed and any generalizations from this study would be,

But Steven, even if it's only problematic (and admittedly, my judgment
is more negative than yours and Chris Green's), doesn't it worry you

Agreed.

Dear TIPS colleagues,
I wonder if the cost of a pay-for PsyD is
worth it. Is the entry level wage for a clinician enough to pay mightily for
the huge debt accumulated for the education?

In some ways, the study reminded me of the published studies in the 70s
reporting use of single high doses of LSD to create such profound
experiences that it was purported to be useful for treating alcoholism,
among other problems.

I will yield to Scott's judgement on the deficiencies in the study. My
comment had only to do with the possible value of the experience,
including its use in research.

Let me add my 2 cents to Scott's:
I find it astonishing also that this was a complete doctoral dissertation. I
don't think that the clinical field is THAT much different from other
empirically based fields of psychological research for the dissertation. I
found this dissertation, in and of

For me, this discussion raises another issue, which perhaps partly explains
the somewhat unusual nature of this dissertation. The issue is this: To what
extent should a doctoral dissertation be the student's own original idea? I
suspect that the dissertation under discussion was the student's own
